If you would like to understand the bigger picture and what can be done to improve the sometimes very sorry (economic, environmental, political, social, etc.) state of the world and if you do not mind some preliminary cognitive dissonance, you have come to the right place. If things become too overwhelming for you, you can always take a break. Be aware though that hiding from these matters does not make them go away. Or to put it into the words of one 18th century philosopher: "When bad men [and women] combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." -- Edmund Burke, Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents (1770), p. 106.
